This is a recipe that I adopted and I have made a couple of changes on it per Dreamgoddess' suggestions. I am putting the celery as an optional item, and making a note to use crushed pineapple in case you can't find the mandarin oranges with pineapple. Ingredients:
6 slices ham, fully cooked (slice of ham should be cut into 3/4-inch chunks.) |
2 stalks celery (celery should be cut into 1/2-inch chunks on a slant cut (bias) (optional) |
11 ounces mandarin orange sections (mandarin oranges should contain pineapple also, if not use 8 ounce can of crushed pineapple, drained) |
1 teaspoon cornstarch |
1/8 teaspoon ground ginger |
Directions:
1. In a 1 1/2-quart casserole microwave ham, celery, 1 T water, covered, on 100% power for 3 to 4 minutes or till heated through.
2. Drain orange sections with pineapple, reserving 1/3 cup liquid.
3. In a 1-cup measure stir together cornstarch and cinnamon.
4. Stir into reserved liquid.
5. Micro-cook, uncovered, on 100% power for 1 to 1 1/2 minutes or till thickened and bubbly, stirring every 30 seconds.
6. Drain liquid off ham and celery mixture.
7. Stir in thickened mixture.
8. Stir in orange sections with pineapple.
9. Micro-cook, uncovered, on 100% power about 1 1/2 minutes or till heated through.
10. Serve with hot cooked rice, if desired.
